CYPs-mediated drug-drug interactions on psoralidin, isobavachalcone, neobavaisoflavone and daidzein in rats liver microsomes.
    Food and chemical toxicology : an international journal published for the British Industrial Biological Research Association, 2020, Volume: 136

    The incubation system of CYP2E1 and CYP3A4 enzymes in rat liver microsomes was established to investigate the effects of psoralidin, isobavachalcone, neobavaisoflavone and daidzein from Fructus Psoraleae in vitro. The relevant metabolites were measured by the method of high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), after probe substrates of 4-nitrophenol, testosterone and the drugs at different concentrations were added to the incubation systems. In addition, real-time RT-PCR was performed to determine the effect of psoralidin, neobavaisoflavone and daidzein on the mRNA expression of CYP3A4 in rat liver. The results suggested that psoralidin, isobavachalcone and neobavaisoflavone were Medium-intensity inhibitors of CYP2E1 with K

Determination of isobavachalcone in rat plasma by LC-MS/MS and its application to a pharmacokinetic study.
    Journal of pharmaceutical and biomedical analysis, 2015, Mar-25, Volume: 107

    A simple and selective specific high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method for determination of isobavachalcone (IBC) in rat plasma was developed. Neobavaisoflavone was used as an internal standard (IS). After protein precipitation with acetonitrile (2:1, v/v), the analyte and IS were separated on a 2.6 μm Kinetex C18 column (100 mm×2.1 mm i.d., Phenomenex) by isocratic elution with acetonitrile:water (60:40, v/v) as the mobile phase at a flow rate of 0.2 mL/min. An electrospray ionization (ESI) source was applied and operated in the negative ion mode; multiple reactions monitoring (MRM) mode was used for quantification, and the target fragment ions m/z 323.0→118.9 for IBC and m/z 321.1→265.0 for the IS were chosen. Good linearity was observed in the concentration range of 3.79-484.5 ng/mL for IBC in rat plasma. The recovery of IBC in plasma was in the range of 81.2-89.8%. Intra-day and inter-day precision were both lower than 10%. This method was suitable for pharmacokinetic studies after oral administration of 80 mg/kg IBC in rats. We also obtained pharmacokinetic parameters and concentration-time profiles for IBC after oral administration of IBC in rats.

Fructus Psoraleae contains natural compounds with potent inhibitory effects towards human carboxylesterase 2.
    Fitoterapia, 2015, Volume: 101

    Fructus Psoraleae (FP) is an edible Chinese herbal which is widely used in Asia for the treatment of various diseases including asthma, diarrhea, and osteoporosis. This study aimed to investigate the inhibitory effects of the crude ethanol extract from FP on human carboxylesterase 2 (hCE2), as well as to identity and characterize the naturally occurring inhibitors of hCE2 in FP. Our results demonstrated that the ethanol extract of FP displayed potent inhibitory effects towards hCE2, while five major bioactive constitutes in FP were efficiently identified by LC-DAD-ESI-MS/MS, with the aid of LC-based activity profiling. The identified bioactive compounds including neobavaisoflavone, isobavachalcone, bavachinin, corylifol A and bakuchiol were found to be naturally occurring potent inhibitors of hCE2, with low Ki values ranging from 0.62μM to 3.89μM. This is the first report of the chemical constitutes in FP as potent inhibitors of hCE2.

Identification and characterization of naturally occurring inhibitors against UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1A1 in Fructus Psoraleae (Bu-gu-zhi).
    Toxicology and applied pharmacology, 2015, Nov-15, Volume: 289, Issue:1

    As an edible traditional Chinese herb, Fructus psoraleae (FP) has been widely used in Asia for the treatment of vitiligo, bone fracture and osteoporosis. Several cases on markedly elevated bilirubin and acute liver injury following administration of FP and its related proprietary medicine have been reported, but the mechanism in FP-associated toxicity has not been well investigated yet. This study aimed to investigate the inhibitory effects of FP extract and its major constituents against human UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1A1 (UGT1A1), the key enzyme responsible for metabolic elimination of bilirubin. To this end, N-(3-carboxy propyl)-4-hydroxy-1,8-naphthalimide (NCHN), a newly developed specific fluorescent probe for UGT1A1, was used to evaluate the inhibitory effects of FP extract or its fractions in human liver microsomes (HLM), while LC-UV fingerprint and UGT1A1 inhibition profile were combined to identity and characterize the naturally occurring inhibitors of UGT1A1 in FP. Our results demonstrated that both the extract of FP and five major components of FP displayed evident inhibitory effects on UGT1A1 in HLM. Among these five identified naturally occurring inhibitors, bavachin and corylifol A were found to be strong inhibitors of UGT1A1 with the inhibition kinetic parameters (Ki) values lower than 1 μM, while neobavaisoflavone, isobavachalcone, and bavachinin displayed moderate inhibitory effects against UGT1A1 in HLM, with the Ki values ranging from 1.61 to 9.86μM. These findings suggested that FP contains natural compounds with potent inhibitory effects against human UGT1A1, which may be one of the important reasons for triggering FP-associated toxicity, including elevated bilirubin levels and liver injury.
